According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise.

Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours,

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

Therefore let us keep holiday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness - but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth.

Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Let not the body be applied unto fornication, but unto the Lord, and the Lord unto the body.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his wife: and let every woman have her husband.

Let the man give unto the wife due benevolence. Likewise also the wife unto the man.

but and if they cannot abstain, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn.

If she separate herself, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled unto her husband again. And let not the husband put away his wife from him.

To the remnant speak I, and not the Lord: if any brother have a wife that believeth not, if she be content to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the woman which hath to her husband an infidel, if he consent to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

But and if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not in subjection to such. God hath called us in peace.

But even as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every person, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all congregations.

If any man be called being circumcised, let him add nothing thereto. If any be called uncircumcised: let him not be circumcised.

Let every man abide in the same state wherein he was called.

Brethren, let every man wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

If any man think that it is uncomely for his virgin if she pass the time of marriage, and if so need require, let him do what he listeth, he sinneth not: let them be coupled in marriage.

Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed fornication, and were destroyed - in one day, twenty three thousand.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents.

Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

Let no man seek his own profit: but let every man seek another's wealth.

If the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn. If it be shame for a woman to be shaven or shorn, let her cover her head.

If there be any man among you that lusteth to strife, let him know that we have no such customs, neither the congregations of God.

Let a man therefore examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

If any man hunger, let him eat at home, that ye come not together unto condemnation. Other things will I set in order when I come.

Wherefore, let him that speaketh with tongues, pray: that he may interpret also.

How is it then brethren? When ye come together, every man hath his song, hath his doctrine, hath his tongue, hath his revelation, hath his interpretation: Let all things be done unto edifying.

If any man speak with tongues, let it be two at once - or at the most three at once - and that by course, and let another interpret it:

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the congregation, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Let the prophets speak two at once, or three at once, and let others judge.

If any revelation be made to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

Let your wives keep silence in the congregations. For it is not permitted unto them to speak: but let them be under obedience, as saith the law.

If they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for women to speak in the congregation.

If any man think himself a prophet, either spiritual: let him understand what things I write unto you. For they are the commandments of the Lord.

But and if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

And let all things be done honestly and in order.

That I have fought with beasts at Ephesus after the manner of men, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not again? "Let us eat and drink, tomorrow we shall die."

Upon some Sunday, let every one of you put aside at home, and lay up whatsoever he thinketh meet, that there be no gatherings when I come.

Let no man despise him: but convey him forth in peace, that he may come unto me. For I look for him with the brethren.

Let all your business be done in love.
